Location

The Hotel La Demeure occupies an elegant Haussmannian building on Boulevard Saint-Marcel in the famous Latin Quarter of Paris. We open the city to your gaze from our upper floors, and at our feet are several landmarks and places to visit.

Try strolling around the Jardin des Plantes and taking mint tea at the Paris Mosque, or heading over to the Pantheon and the beautiful Saint-Etienne church. Or play the role of a true Parisian at the market on Rue Mouffetard. The choice is yours.

Jardin des Plantes

This 23.5-hectare space extending south from the Seine River was once the royal botanical garden. It contains an astonishing variety of landscaped gardens and plant species, the Natural History Museum’s Paris galleries and also a small zoo. Access Place Valhubert, 14 minutes from the hotel.

Natural History Museum

Located in the Jardin des Plantes, this museum is one of the earliest of its kind in Europe, dating back to 1635 but officially inaugurated in 1793 during the French Revolution. The impressive Grande Galerie de l’Evolution contains 7,000 specimens of land and sea animals. Access Rue Buffon, an 11-minute walk from the hotel.

Manufacture des Gobelins

Named for a local family of dyers, this tapestry factory was founded in 1601, and it became the supplier to French kings from Louis XIV. Now run by the French Culture Ministry, it offers guided visits on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at 1 pm. 42 Avenue des Gobelins, a 5-minute walk from the hotel.

Panthéon

The Pantheon’s distinctive dome dominates the Paris skyline from its perch on Saint-Genevieve hill. Here, famous figures who forged France are buried and commemorated. Open 10 am to 6.30 pm daily, 20 minutes by foot from the hotel.

Marché Mouffetard

This typically Parisian market is one of the jewels of the Latin Quarter. Stallholders ply fresh produce every morning except on Mondays on rue Mouffetard, one of the most picturesque streets in Paris. Just 10 minutes from the hotel on foot.

Eglise Saint-Etienne du Mont

This beautiful church combines Gothic and Renaissance architectural styles and is notable for its two organs and the tomb of Saint Geneviève, who gave her name to the hill on which the church sits. Place Saint-Geneviève, 20 minutes from the hotel.

Notre-Dame de Paris

No visit to Paris would be complete without taking in this legendary cathedral with its famous gargoyles and rose windows. It took two centuries to build this remarkable edifice. Leave time for queuing. About 25 minutes from the hotel.
